I stood at the door
And watched while you drove away
Driving my car in the rain, in the dark
Well, every dog seems to have her day
I've been in this alone so long
And I'm beginning to wonder why
I stand in one place, a different name, a different face
No one's gonna see me cry
I need someone to stand by me
Stand by me, just one time
I hope somebody stands by me
Stands by me, just one time
I don't understand, it's slipping through these hands
You'd think by now I'd know when to let go
All I know is, here I am, baby
Won't you stand by me?
I'm not bending tonight
But I'm twisted and turned and broken down
And I'm starting to know the sound of something
And no one and yet everything
Well, if God is here tonight - are You here tonight?
Maybe You could grab me up
Stand me on my feet and give me strength
Set me free
I'm not giving in 'til I've had enough
I need someone to stand by me
Stand by me, just one time
Won't somebody stand by me
Stand by me, just one time
I don't understand, it's slipping through my hands
You'd think by now I would know when to let go
All I know is, here I am, baby
Stand by me
I need someone to stand by me
Stand by me, just one time
Won't somebody stand by me
Stand by me, just one time
I don't understand, it's slipping through these hands
You'd think by now I'd know how to let go
But all I know is, here I am
Stand by me
Here I am, baby
Stand by me
All I know is, here I am, baby
Stand by me
